The online community was in a frenzy over a photo showing a group of friends hiking in Chile—and the mysterious photographer who sneaked into the frame. Fans were startled, saying they got “goosebumps.”
A photo of six friends walking through the forest sparked a heated online debate after eagle-eyed viewers noticed something sinister.
A harmless selfie among friends… or is it? At first glance, the image appears to be a perfectly normal, happy photo: six friends huddled together, smiling broadly against a lush green background. Taken in the Chilean countryside, it reflects the camaraderie and joy of their outing.
But if you look closely at the bottom left corner of the image, you’ll discover something completely unexpected: a greenish face that doesn’t belong to any of the six friends.
A seventh head emerges from the shadows, causing a chill.
Online Reactions: Between Fear and Skepticism
When the photo was posted on Facebook, amateur detectives immediately set out to discover what horror lay behind the image.
– “I have a feeling this isn’t a good ghost. It’s scary. I wonder who this ghost is connected to,” one user wrote in response to the Facebook post: “A friend sent me this photo of his friends from Chile.”
Another commented: “Great photo! I wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t zoomed in. It looks devilish.”
A third wrote: “That really gave me goosebumps.”
– “My God, look at that creepy grin – it sent chills down my spine,” wrote a fourth.
On Reddit, users tried to solve the mystery. Some joked that it took a “sniper’s eye” to spot the additional face, while others regretted zooming in.
“Why don’t you just tell us where to look?” wrote one.
Another said, “For the first time in history, we really needed a red circle—and we didn’t get one.”
A third wrote, “A devilishly good photobomb from the forest spirit.”
A fourth added, “Thanks for the nightmares—forever!”
Another Reddit user, deeply disturbed by the greenish face, wrote,
“I’m not exaggerating when I say I immediately got goosebumps and felt genuine fear. What the hell is this? I believe in ghosts again.”
Fake picture?
While many are convinced something supernatural is at play here, others believe it’s a successful hoax.
“This is so fake,” one person wrote, while another said, “Creepy picture… but I think it’s edited.”
A Reddit user, trying to figure out if the image was manipulated, wrote:
“I literally got goosebumps. I usually laugh at things like this or assume photo editing—but not this time.”
He added:
“Once you see it, it’s hard to explain it as anything else—like a jacket or a strand of hair. Nothing else fits. It’s clearly someone or something that doesn’t belong there.”
The story of the seventh face in this group selfie is more than just an eerie coincidence: It shows how the everyday can suddenly seem sinister with a change of perspective. Whether it’s a prank, a ghost, or a clever lighting effect, one thing is certain: this photo will be a talking point for a long time to come.
